Can almonds be planted?

Almonds can be planted, but almonds cannot be removed when they are used as seeds. It is the seed of Rosaceae apricot, including the kernel of apricot and the seed of almond. Every fruit ripening season, after the amygdala is peeled off, you can see the slightly flat egg-shaped almonds covered with a brown coat.

2. Cultivation techniques of almonds

1. Growing environment

The biological characteristics are adaptable, drought-resistant, cold-resistant, barren-resistant and saline-alkali resistant. In summer, the growth is normal under the high temperature of 43.9 ℃, and the winter is safe at the low temperature of-40 ℃. Can be planted on flat or sloping land. It is not strict with the soil.

two。 To propagate by seed or grafting.

Seed reproduction: picking mature fruit, rubbing to remove pulp, large seeds 5-10kg per 50kg, small seeds 7.5-15kg per 50kg, seed purity 98%, germination rate 86%, mixed with 1:3 wet sand for winter sand storage. Spring sowing in late March, autumn sowing in late November (after drying in the shade of a ventilated place). It is often used to sow seeds in large ridges, one row per row, 10-15cm plant spacing, 1 seed in each hole, and 5-6cm soil thickness (about 3 times the seed diameter) after sowing.

Grafting propagation: seedlings or mountain apricot seedlings sown with apricot in rootstock, branch grafting in late March and bud grafting from early July to late August.

3. Field management

The seedlings should be thinned when there are 3-4 leaves, and the seedlings should be irrigated for the second time after 2-3 weeks, so as to prevent the roots from being hurt by the wind, irrigate appropriately in case of drought, and pay attention to waterlogging in the rainy season from July to August. The seedling is as high as 45cm, and the tender tip can be removed one month before budding. It is pruned from November to March in winter, which is divided into three kinds of tree shape, natural round head shape, evacuation stratification shape and natural happy shape. Topdressing fertilizer and water from April to June, topdressing fast-acting fertilizer once before bud germination and during the growth of young fruit, each adult tree could be applied 0.25kg, and then irrigated.

The life of almonds is very tenacious, there are basically no requirements for the environment, and it is easy to grow.
